The idea behind Clearview AI is one that is very concerning to me. As Ton-That demonstrates the use of the software to a journalist and a picture of the journalist when he was 16 years old shows up is not just worrying, but also terrifying. In the video, John Oliver also mentions how Ton-That has some even more worrying history with his previous companies.
The second concept that needs much more attention is the inclusion of everyone in facial recognition software. The software works off of data sets that are fed into it and can only recognize faces that are similar to what it was given. This is why we need software to encompass a full spectrum. The software itself is not to blame, but the humans feeding the data sets into the software.
